A simple method based on a plasma oscillations theory of solids is proposed for the calculation of mechanical and optical properties such as microhardness (H), bulk modulus (B), dielectric constant (ϵ), polarizability (α), electronic susceptibility (χ) of A^IIB^IVC₂^V and A^IB^IIIC₂^VI semiconductors. Our calculated values are in excellent agreement with the values reported by earlier researchers. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
